The First of Many CONTESTS-FOR-NO-REASON!!! Win OS, PD and swag!

I said the magic word! Contest!! I love my followers, and I LOVE giving stuff away!

For those of you who have been around a while, you’ll remember my monthly Debut Contests all last year to celebrate all the awesome YA Debuts. (Including mine!) My last Debut contest ended in December and I’ve been going through contest withdrawal ever since. So now I’m back with a vengeance!

Here’s the deal. I have tons of signed books and swag that I’m dying to give away. Instead of monthly contests, I’m going to run bi-monthly contests between now and Original Sin release! That’s two chances every month to win Original Sin galleys and other signed books/swag by some totally amazing authors! (Think: Rachel Hawkins, Gayle Foreman, Sarwat Chadda, Cassandra Clare, Holly Black and more!)

First up, we have a fabulous prize pack, including a signed copy of Personal Demons, a signed Original Sin galley, signed Original Sin bookmarks, Team Luc and Team Gabe temporary tattoos, and this totally fun tote bag signed by both Rachel Hawkins and Sarwat Chadda!

You know you want it!

All you have to do to enter is comment on this post by noon (PST) on Thursday, March 31st. Your comment doesn’t have to be fancy. You can just say hi or ask a question. (I love to answer questions, especially about my books!) In addition to commenting (for which you get one point) you can accumulate extra points as follows:

Gah! *freaksout* So much excitement! I don't know if I can handle it! Actually, I'm super excited to read OS, I've been positively giddy. So far, my luck with winning it early has failed. Maybe my luck is headed upwards? *crosses fingers*

I do have a question! How many books to you plan on being in this series? Please forgive me if this has been answered. I've seen that OS is going to be the sequel but not sure if that was it??Thanks.Amy

Wow great contest Lisa!! I can't wait to read Original Sin, and these other books. Of course, I've already Personal Demons and loved it.

I just wanted to say I really liked an older blog post of yours that talked about how you have to know the basics of your whole series before you release the first one, with foreshadowing and all that. I'm having to deal with that a little right now. It's like I have strokes of genius with certain ideas that can really get the plot going, but then I'm worried I'll forget to mention it at a later or even earlier time. Is there any way to fix this or somehow make it less painful? Thanks! :)

The Original Sins Galley is calling to me! I'm one of your biggest fans and I've read PD 3 times :o} I'm Team Luc all the way Babeh!

My questions for you are how much research did you have to do to A) Angels and Catholicism and B) Demons and Hell? Also, did you base any of the book on theory ---I mean partly, of course, because it was fiction but your descriptions were so vivid that I wondered how much of that came from your own personal concept of Hell or if you researched concepts of Hell from the Bible or other fictional accounts, i.e. Dante's Inferno etc...

I was raised within a strict Catholic family and for personal reasons have chose to worship and find my own spirituality as an adult. So, my curiousity is piqued!

How do you keep all the facts straight in your head? That can't be easy, especially if it's a series. Do you have a board that to others would look like you're planning world domination that is full of all the facts or everything in a notebook?
